## Resource

When a couple can meet each other with non-judgmental empathy, it draws you closer to each other. Nobody is shamed, questioned or put down and it leads to a deeper intimacy. This is the power of mutual vulnerability and it’s one of the bedrocks of a healthy marriage (and sex life). But most people don’t do a very good job at it! (which makes sense- who taught us how???) In today’s podcast episode, my husband and I explored this topic, sharing what we were taught about vulnerability, offering a role-play of what to do (and not to do), and practical tips on responding to vulnerability effectively. If you thought new sex positions were the key to hot sex, think again! Mutual vulnerability leads to safety and you can’t get sexier than safety! I hope you enjoy this feel-good episode 🙂 Looking for where to start? Get Janna's Intro Videos for men and women. Ready to learn more?
